Maryland: Elderly couple and their leashed Labrador attacked by two loose pit bulls

MARYLAND -- One person is injured after an elderly couple was attacked by two dogs in Middle River, according to Baltimore County Police.

Officers say around 3:30 p.m., two pit bulls got loose from a home in the 4000 block of Rustico Road and the dogs got into a fight with a lab being walked by the couple.

The dogs then attacked the couple, an elderly man and woman. The woman was taken the hospital with an injury to her hand. The man was bitten but the bite didn’t go through his clothing. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

One of the pit bulls is back with the owner and the other is injured and animal control is coming for it because it’s aggressive. The lab involved is OK.
